MR James (1862–1936) began composing his antiquarian ghost stories for a close circle of his colleagues at the University of Cambridge, to whom he would read them aloud every Christmas Eve. These 13 unnerving tales, inspired by his belief that objects from centuries ago can harbour unsettling associations, includes such classics as Oh, Whistle and I'll Come to You, My Lord and The Haunted Doll's House.
